b.  Assists in the preparation of well development programs and in the appraisal of drilling locations. Compiles logs and reports on wells after completion. Assists in the preparation of drilling programs for wells at different horizons within producing fields.
 
c.  Monitors, studies, analyzes and interprets all sub-surface geological data related to conditions existing in a field which may connect several reservoirs; reviews and appraises this data and its interpretation with a view to make recommendations for further work.
 
d.  Assists in the development and implementation of planning and costing studies and assists in regional geological studies.
 
e.  Prepares and reviews the geological appraisals of aquifers which are connected with reservoir pressure maintenance and provides information and advice on a wider spectrum of hydro-geological problems. These appraisals aim to indicate the nature and extent of contents, hydro-dynamic flows, etc.

Occasional contacts with contractors to review and discuss work activities.
  
4. Independence of Operation :

Works according to specialized technical procedures and professional standards. Acts independently in carrying out day-to-day activities. Study findings, significant problems and completed work is reviewed by more experienced Reservoir Engineering staff.

Accountability

Incumbent is responsible for analysis and accurate interpretation of cuttings and core samples, fossils and hydrocarbon shows during drilling. Findings are used as basis for construction of reservoir geological models. Incorrect analysis / descriptions may lead to costly mistakes though the impact of such mistakes are usually limited through review and further check by more experienced geologists.
